Eamonn,
You can use broadband alongside Eircom phonewatch but you need to
install a DSL filter on each telephone. This is a little device that
you plug into the phone socket in the wall. Then you plug the
telephone into that instead of direct into the wall socket. They cost
in the region of 10 Euro and you will need one for each telephone you
have. It does something to stop phonewatch introducing noise in the
system that interferes with the broadband. That's my decidedly
untechnical understanding of it. The same goes for telephone-based
security systems other than Eircom. My father-in-law had this problem
and after I installed two of these devices it was solved.

Hi folks,
I seem to recall hearing something about not being able to use
broadband (via a phone line,) in conjunction with Eircom's
Phonewatch.
As I don't have an alarm, I could well be mistaken on this point -
maybe worth checking out, Gavin - just in case.
Good luck with the apartment.

Hi Gavin,
I believe that Eircom produce a talking alarm as part of their
telecom
phone watch system.
You could give them a call and check out the details.

Hi all
I don't know if this is the list to be asking this, if it's it not
let me
know. I'm moving into my new apartment soon and was going to get it
alarmed.
Is there any alarm that's particularly accessible for a blind
person? All
help is appreciated.
Kind Regards
Gavin
